WELCOME
Welcome to Venture4All
My name is Jamaal Betts and I am the founder of Venture4All. I am one of those people who struggles with harebrained ideas everyday. My wife refers to them as crazy business ideas. I like to think of them as inspiration. Inspiration in and of itself is great! However, to move beyond that point of having a great idea and seeing it come to fruition as a business, product or service is a difficult journey that requires much time and a few other things. Two of the greatest obstacles are experience and resources.
I have had many great business ideas that don't quite fit the typical crowd funding model or how that system works. I have had a few great ideas that just don't appeal to a bank as I don't have the desired experience or down payment to get funded. I know people who also have had great small business ideas and have poured their life savings into them, however, due to lack of experience have ruined the business.
If any of these or other struggles sound familiar, Welcome.
The mission and goal of Venture for all is to be a forum for two sets of people for one purpose- provide a method of exposure for Idea generators in an attempt to help good Ideas become good reality.
Business Idea Generators: These people are the people like me who have great Ideas all the time. I used to make use of a notepad frequently. Now, i use an application on my smartphone called "Elevatr"-a phenomenal business planing tool in the making, still lacking some components such as the ability to export your ideas. If you are one of these people please feel free to use this forum as a sounding board to get feedback on your ideas
and attract
Business Supporters: These are the people out there that have the resources and experience needed to see an idea become reality.
- PLEASE BE AWARE -
A few things.
1- Idea Generators, you are responsible to ensure that you have taken the proper precautions before posting your idea on Venture4All
2- Any and all agreements between Idea Generators and Supporters are only restricted or regulated by the agreements themselves, and Venture4All has no rights or responsibilities in any regulation of such agreements.
3- Profane language, racism, bigotry, slander, and any other form of foul communications will not be tolerated and and will not be permitted on Venture4All
4- Your ideas are super important. We don’t mine your data. We are not here to try and steal your Ideas, just help with exposure.
